Welcome to Litsy!

The universe has been telling me I finally need to read this book and watch this documentary. Earlier this week, I came across the NYT article about the book 50 years on (my library still has the 1973 edition). And then, I turn to the first page of Stella Maris by Cormac McCarthy yesterday and there it is, Black River Falls, WI.

I was today years old when I found out David Sedaris knew Lucy Grealy! Not surprising as they were both writers in NYC in the early 90s.

Right here ⬆️ in this essay about his cranky neighbor Helen, he tells her he knows the poet who lost half her jaw to cancer that was on Oprah. I can‘t think of who else it would be besides Lucy.

#WinterWonderland #December1963 This book was first published in May 1963 and then rereleased with a much snazzier cover in December 2006. I came across this title last week in another book which felt like #BookKismet 💫🌟💫✨💫🌟Has anyone read this book?? In the book Our Short History, a dying mom is putting together a future book list for her son and this book was on the list.

Couldn‘t put this fun historical #romantsy down. Lady Xenobia India is a fixer, she solves staffing problems in aristocratic households, she redecorates country estates for exorbitant fees. She‘s just accepted her most difficult job- turning the irascible Thorn Dautry into a proper gentleman. Full of punny high jinks and sexy times 🔥

Starting a new book and look what the epigraph reads " There was clearly felt the presence of a force not bound to be kind to man. It was a place of heathenism and #superstitious rites, to be inhibited by men nearer of kin to the rocks and to wild animals than we."
